– A per-member-giving goal set by the Grand Exalted Ruler for fiscal year donations.

“Per-Capita”• Why is “Per-Capita” important?
– Lodges, District and States want to honor the GER’s goal.
– ENF Gratitude Grant is earned when the goal is reached.
– Some states use the goal for additional incentives.
